How to uninstall minikube and kubectl completely (Including config files) ?

[akshayr01]

Can someone help me with uninstalling minikube and kubectl completely?

OS: RHEL 7.2 ( AWS EC2 instance)
Minikube version: minikube version: v1.2.0
Kubectl: Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"15", GitVersion:"v1.15.0", GitCommit:"e8462b5b5dc2584fdcd18e6bcfe9f1e4d970a529", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2019-06-19T16:40:16Z", GoVersion:"go1.12.5", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}

Currently there is no automated way to stop minikube or to remove minikube, for the none driver.
For the normal drivers we just stop or destroy the VM, which also stop or removes minikube.

Basically one would have to stop/delete the various components, and then clean up containers/images.
The final and smallest step is removing the actual minikube and kubectl binaries in the path.

This issue appears to be a duplicate of #3372, so I will close this one so that we may centralize the content relating to the issue. If you feel that this issue is not in fact a duplicate, please feel free to re-open it.

For the none driver specifically, https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/blob/master/docs/vmdriver-none.md has some information about what files get written to.

Thank you for reporting this!

Hello
Please refer to page https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/reference/uninstalling_minikube/
For linux
In the shell, type in minikube delete to delete the minikube cluster. - Remove the binary using
rm /usr/local/bin/minikube

• Remove the directory containing the minikube configuration
  rm -rf ~/.minikube

Yes agree with sanjaygeeky, also delete .kube, .minikube from $HOME and kubectl etc from /usr/local/bin
